Astronomers are reporting evidence for a possible second kilonova event, but the case is not closed. In fact, this situation is much more complex.

Chi Nguyen remembers the moment she plugged her laptop into a large monitor in a conference room and onlookers began to cheer. She was presenting a team with the first "aliveness test" image taken by the agency's space telescope SPHEREx.

For those who celebrate, November 7 is the birthday of two scientific giants: Marie Curie (1867-1934) and Lise Meitner (1878-1968), justly renowned for their world-changing investigations of radioactivity and nuclear fission.

A Caltech mathematician, Matilde Marcolli, teamed up with Noam Chomsky to figure out the algebraic structures underlying his latest theories of language. "Noam's work was so precise that it was easy to translate into math," she said. magazine.caltech.edu/post/math-lang…

This is a rare, extensive look into what it's like to experience and care for someone with severe Long COVID and ME/CFS.
Appreciate all the spoons from @thephysicsgirl et al that went into this effort to raise awareness and funding for @OpenMedF.

This book was supposed to be 200 pages when it was proposed, grew to 300, and could easily been 1,000. My hope is that it’s title is what we do: Open a channel between us all geni.us/rW7Bi69
